Men’s health is in crisis. On average, men will die almost 4 years earlier than women in the UK, and for largely preventable reasons.
A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.
Movember is uniquely placed to address this crisis on a global scale. We fund groundbreaking projects all over the world, engaging men where they are to understand what works best and accelerate change.
And, that’s where we're looking for the OMBLES to help us spread the word ahead of the start of Movember this week. We can’t wait to see all of your brilliant entries today. The mo’ the merrier.

About the campaign:
There are some devastating stats. On average men will die almost 4 years earlier than women, and almost 3 of 4 suicides are men.
Movember exists to stop men dying too young by tackling some of the most complex health issues facing men today - mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. So as you can see, we here at One Minute Briefs have got some very important work to do, starting with our mo’s…
So if ever there was a time for you to test the waters with a handlebar or a pencil for a brilliant cause this Movember is the time for it.
Fear not if you’re not one to grow a show- stopper, there are several other ways to take part, including a run, a walk, or hosting your own event to raise funds for men’s health.
We want to see all the fun and creative ways to encourage people to register at movember.com on 1st Movember to start growing. (And remember the rules dictate you must start with a clean-shaven face. Strictly no beards allowed.)
